So far so good. I have only had the scanner for a few days and thus far I am delighted with it.
The results from this little unit have far exceeded my expectations.
This is an excellent little machine, I have now converted several rolls of film in various reel sizes and find the quality is very good.
I had super 8 cine film converted by a professional serval years ago and can state that the quality of this machine is better.
The film joints should be in good condition otherwise the mechanism may stall when it encounters a bad one, it’s no problem though as it can be easily pulled forward to continue the capture but will leave a frozen frame on the capture file.
There are several YouTube videos on how to get round reels larger than the 5” maximum and it doesn’t actually need the take up reel, it will just keep feeding the film through unless it encounters a bad joint or damaged film, however the film will need to be rewound by hand.
The frames are captured in HD in 4.3 aspect ratio, however I found that when converted to the standard wide screen ratio they don’t look too squashed (to my eye) and they look fantastic on a 55” 4K tv, depending on the original film quality.
I’d recommend it to anyone who needs to digitise their cine film
I found it easy to use and was very pleased with the results. The customer service and support was extremely helpful when I hit a problem. I would recommend renting this scanner to any photographer with an archive of slides to digitise.
I was copying some very old slides. One category produced an interesting challenge. When I scanned as if they were black and white, this was successful but produced a negative image. I opened them in Adobe Photoshop and inverted the image which worked like magic and seemed to retain all of the quality of the original images. Very pleasing.
All I have to do now is to make sure that all of the images are organised and accessible. The next challenge!.
Get out your old Cine Films, it's scanning time!
Does what it says on the box.
